General details of the Ode to the 1930’s
Block-of-the-Month Program include:
- The Ode to the 1930’s pattern is available
2 ways. It has been written as a regular
pattern (Item #1007) and it has also been
written as a BOTM program. The quilt is the
same in both patterns. However, the BOTM
program pattern has been expanded upon from the
original pattern printing offering optional
setting arrangements for some of the blocks
within the quilt.
- The program includes the directions to make
the Ode to the 1930’s quilt finishing 67”x 82”.
The program is appropriate for quilters with a
good understanding of basic quilting
techniques.
- The BOTM pattern has been divided so each
month the participants receive the directions
to make 3 to 4 different blocks within the
quilt. During the first 9 months of the
program, the participants will make one 12”
block and three 9” and/or 6” blocks for a total
of 4 blocks each month. During month 10 and 11,
the participants will make one 12” block and 2
additional block patterns including the 3”
blocks. Month 12 will have the participants
setting the blocks to finish the quilt like the
original quilt. The participants are encouraged
to attend the BOTM program each month to
receive the directions for the next set of
blocks.
- Also included in the program, the
participants receive general cutting and sewing
directions for the sampler blocks, finishing
directions to set the sampler blocks, a color
image of the original quilt and a pattern bag
to store their copies of the pattern.
- Suggestions are provided for running the
program.
- The BOTM program does not include
directions for kitting the blocks. The yardage
requirements to create the quilt along with the
colors used in the original quilt are listed
within the yardage requirements for the quilt.
Bundles of fat quarters or fat eights could be
distributed to the participants to make the
sampler blocks.
- The wholesale price for each BOTM program
pattern is $7.00 for each person participating
in the program for the entire year. The cost
includes all of the directions to make the
quilt. A minimum purchase of 20 BOTM patterns
is required for the initial program order.
Additional copies of the program pattern may be
purchased after the initial order for
participants joining the program late. The cost
of shipping is included in the purchase price
except for international customers who pay a
portion of the shipping.
- A 25% discount is available with an order
of 50 or more program patterns. However, the
patterns must be ordered at the same time to
qualify for the discount. Subsequent orders of
less than 50 program patterns are available at
the discounted price.
- If you wish to purchase a single copy of
the Shop Copy (which does not entitle you to
photocopy the pages for the participants), the
prepaid cost is $250.00, which will be applied
to your first order for the participant’s
patterns.
- To ensure print quality, I do the pattern
printing for the participants. All pages for
the entire program arrive in the first
shipment. For ease of distribution throughout
the year, the pattern pages for the blocks,
setting directions and color cover are printed
and packaged individually.
- Individual patterns are available for shops
considering the program. However, there is a
difference between the individual pattern and
the BOTM program pattern. Consider purchasing
an individual pattern, make the quilt and
decide if you wish to proceed with the program
knowing there is a difference in the BOTM
printing.
- Expect a 1-week delivery from the order
date except during Spring and Fall Quilt
Market.

BOTM program or to place an order.
